Well, I finally was able to get a BREN 805 my self. I haven't had the chance to take it to the range yet. However, I want to show you that this one is not too common. Well, I got a Factory Komifornia Kompliant Bren.
Yep, now CZ is trying to reach the Left coast market. Why not!... If I would try to get one from a Free state, I have to send it to a CA friendly FFL middle man to make it compliant. And of course not everyone out of CA understand all the non senses laws. In any case, it is additional expense. So at the end, I would have spent the same regardless that got a CA factory version or not. Because a LGS had them in stock, I decided it was time to get one.
First thing, I noticed the part number. it is not listed in CZ-usa web
Then it came in this long box unlike the normal cardboard cut insert type. The reason, we can't have collapsed and/or folding stock.
Now here is what got my attention. A nice well padded rifle bag! I guess CZ threw a bone at us in KA to justify the additional cost.
And here is another surprised! A gen 1 folding stock that is pinned. Yep, it started to grow on me. The bonus if I decided to Cerakote the upper receiver grey. It would be pretty close when CZ submitted the BREN 805 for trials for the Czech Military.
So, here it is with the hideous grip wrap to make it featureless. Who ever made this for CZ did a decent job. The only thing I did not like was the rounded shape. I already popped the rivets and I am in the process in making my own with Chicago screws so that I can take it out if I get a chance to go a free state range.
One thing about the stock, it can be taken out as the GEN 2 but I also found out that I can take the rear most portion out by pressing the button 1/4" and slide it up. The end cap insert, can be taken out as normal. Pressing it 1/2" and slide it down. I found that by accident!.
So here it is with two Pmags 10 round magazines!
